6/10
Reasonably entertaining
13 March 2020
18 episodes of David Nixon's Magic Box survive from 1970/71, and 9 have been lost. The surviving ones are available on a Network DVD. The earlier episodes featuring Anita Harris as David's assistant are entertaining and the picture quality surprisingly good, but the later ones in which Ali Bongo acts as David's sidekick under the guise of his lackey "Alistair" got rather irritating to me after a while. You can only have so many magic tricks, hence some of the big illusions are done more than once over the series such as the "stretching a person" and "assistants revenge" illusions. Each episode features guest performers.
